Good afternoon,
Looking for some opinions on plate carriers, Im new on the job and have had a few Leo's recommend getting a plate carrier to keep in your cruiser. I haven't had any experience with owning or setting up a plate carrier and really don't know much about them at all, Ive been trying to get some ideas on different plates (levels, materials) as well as the carrier itself and have been leaning towards a Crye JPC 2.0. for a carrier but it seems that there is so much information and possibly misleading information on the strength levels as to what the plates are rated for, much of the information can appear confusing or potentially misleading as to what it can stop.
I guess im looking for some opinions on carriers that many of you may have experience with and plate materials and strength rating as well. As a two part question, any recommendations for extra gear that could be purchased from experience that may not have been issued from the dept. that you all would see as valuable.
TIA
